Do we need another green site?

Wiki Founder Jimmy Wales seems to think so.

Wikia Green launched last week, with the mission of creating a valuable resource for all things green and is based on the wildly successful Wiki platform.

‘A dynamic new ecology resource’, the site is already rich in consumer-generated-content with some 600 posted articles which span the green spectrum: lifestyle, travel, activism, how-to guides, climate change and technology.

According to sexy, sustainable style partner ecofabulous.com, the site was created by Jimmy Wales and Angela Beesley. Wikia Green was the love child born when Wales met Al Gore, just before Gore received his Nobel Prize. After researching existing green resources, Wales realized that information about green topics was scattered and often overly scientific. Wikia Green took shape from his desire to unite the passion of the green community into one highly accessible resource.
